From a worldly perspective, image is more important than substance. The church at Sardis appeared healthy but was nearing spiritual death.

• Appearance can be deceiving: The church of Sardis excelled in fellowship but lacked genuine worship. Don’t neglect your connection with Jesus!
• We are designed for relationships: Relationships require commitment and work; don’t neglect prayer and biblical study.
• It’s not too late: Remember what attracted you to Christ. While you are alive God wants to be in relationship with you and has a plan for your life!
